Resale value is not that important when you build a house for yourself. Generally, (I think) more people like higher ceilings. But most have standard (2.40 prefab height). You probably won’t get back the money for higher ceilings (more enclosed space, more expensive shell, larger windows, more expensive maintenance for heating and ventilation...). Location and so on play a much more important role. In Munich, you can sell a dilapidated shack on a small plot for millions, while in the middle of nowhere you might have to give away a castle with a park with a theoretical million value soon. You want to build a house that will still be within the standard range. Go into a few houses and “feel” it. Then measure the ceiling height... With 2.5 or 2.55 you are high enough.
